Warm Wishes
It has been another year and with that more fungus in my life (and another more human bundle of joy). I tried my best to get these fungus to behave (and my children) but we can鈥檛 always control them. So below is my newest artwork. It says Warm Wishes and is as cozy and warm (and fuzzy) of a cabin I could get with fungus. Enjoy and happy holidays to you.
Inoculating loops roasting in an open fire
The negative 80 nipping at your fingers
The incubators beeping like a choir
And the aroma of bacteria just seems to linger
Everybody knows resistance and recombination
Help to give us such a fright
Teeny Tiny Bacteria with their constant mutations
Will make it hard for us to sleep at night
But they all know that scientists will find a way
We鈥檙e using sequencing and synthetic life
And every single strand of DNA
To see if we can really end the lifelong strife
And so really think before you join the craze,
You will be in the lab every day.
Although it鈥檚 rewarding, many times we鈥檙e in a daze
But we do take a break for the happy holidays!
